Will this hurt or help Vivek's chances of winning in Ohio? This feels similar to the Christmas day tweet-spree he went on insulting American workers that got him fired from DOGE.
For anyone that wants the full clip:



For anyone curious about specifics, apparently Ramaswamy adheres to the Advaita Vedanta tradition of Hinduism which can be presented as a kind of monotheism as it asserts that only Brahman (the supreme absolute reality) is truly real, while the individual self (Atman) is identical to Brahman. The matter gets more complicated when one looks deeper into the topic though.

Pagan savage religion is pagan savage religion.

Hinduism is a mental illness, look at how corrupt India is. Look how disgusting India is.

why can't this nigger just shut up instead of trying to debatebro boomers? Does he want to lose or something?
 
Of course, a big problem is we're still printing a fuckton of money every year to pay for everyone's bennies. The federal deficit is now in hockey stick mode, and there's no fixing it without telling the olds that their failure to have kids means their benefits have no funding source. Olds vote en masse, so the hockey stick it is!
One must pity whoever will be the person to address the federal deficit when the kicked can finally runs out of road.
 
That's a rough 26.

And is that his Christmas tree still up in the corner there? He's nearly as lazy as I am. Impressive.

Eh, I don't like Vivek, seems like an idiot, but most people don't really care that a non-Christian isn't a Christian. He's not actively attacking Christians, so he's a step above muzzies, jews, or Hollywood. He's clearly trying to be respectful, but he isn't intelligent enough to just drop the topic entirely. Like I said, he's an idiot.

That said, this'll piss off the evangelical types, autistic fucks that they are, but I feel like most aren't going to vote democrat and the ones demoralized enough to stay home (the real issue with Vivek) surely made their mind up about him long ago. I did.
 
All of the worst flights I’ve ever had were spirit airlines. You’re packed butt to gut like sardines in uncomfortable seats I would only recommend for the worst prisoners. I don’t think it was fuel costs that bankrupted them but their reputation and how awfully they treated their customers.

Speaking of, the only time I've ever seen any uncrated dog was at a Spirit terminal I had the misfortune of sitting across from.

I'm sure Tyrese's unfixed, toddler fed, cropped ear having, bulking mass of a pitbull was somehow a registered service dog. Section 8 of the Skies indeed. Now I'll have to be even more wary of becoming an unwitting extra on the new indie film: "PITS ON A PLANE 2: CARRY ON MAULING" on what used to be good  neighborhoods airlines.
 
Duffy derides Biden, Buttigieg, and Warren for blocking the Spirit merger in a vain attempt to prove how anti-trust they were, only to result in Spirit collapsing and thousands of people losing their jobs.

JetBlue itself is going through some financial turbulence right now which makes one wonder how such a merger would've gone had it occurred but even with those issues, from a business perspective, such a situation is more preferable then a total shut down which is what happened to Spirit Airlines.
As long as my Sky Pesos don’t liquidate I’ll be happy. LCCs come but if a legacy carrier goes belly up we are in some shit. Alaska buying Hawaiian was already annoying. I can’t imagine losing AA in the west coast or some bullshit like that.

He isn't trying to debate the guy, he's trying to make some sort of connection. The bigger problem is he isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He's pandering, but hindos don't share anything with christians.
 
You could also drive a vehicle with better fuel economy. On its current tank, mine's (a plug-in hybrid) currently averaging 74.3mpg, so as you can imagine the "gas station sticker shock" doesn't hit nearly as hard for me. I haven't put gas in my car for months, but I still drive hundreds of miles per month anyway. Maybe people shouldn't have been so smug and condescendingly dismissive of plug-in hybrids. I dunno ... just a thought though.

It's the SOP panic stick for people though, I get it. It's a great way to whine about the president (whoever it is) even though it's literally always ragheads manipulating the price. It's still stupid though.
"don't like how expensive gas is? just spend $40.000 on a new car, chud."

We're so fucking cucked we can't even have christian or atheist white people anymore. we have to cope about how some retard who should rightfully be drawn and quartered (legally!) for his scams is a "good enough republican."

I want him to keep talking, he's doing our dirty work for us to start TPD.
 
There are very few things that truckers care about more than fuel (not gas) prices. It's the biggest expense in trucking by a longshot. When fuel prices are cheap, you don't have to worry about expenditure as much. When fuel prices rise, you're put in the uncomfortable position of negotiating with your clients, all of which will not be eager to give you more money because of factors outside of their control. Not to mention the issue of multi-year contracts. Saying that truckers don't care about fuel prices is about as retarded as saying that burger joints don't care about beef prices. They would obviously prefer that the price stays consistent, as fluctuating prices just cause a giant headache for all parties.
It depends on whether they're an owner-operator or an employee of a big company. If the boss is paying for the gas the trucker doesn't really care.

That said owner-operators shouldn't be thrown to the wayside.
 
What are your guys all thoughts on hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles? I think they may be the way to go for new cars going forward. No range issues like an EV and excellent torque. And the batteries are smaller.
The expense of having two full drivetrains keeps plug ins out of the regular cheap car market, but they're good when they work. Non plug-ins are probably a better solution for average joes.
 
I don't live in Ohio, but I don't know what I'd do if I did. I couldn't hold my nose and vote for Vivek, the curry and poo stench is just too much. Acton will of course be bad for the state, most likely worse than Vivek, so I wouldn't want to vote for her either. I'd probably just vote 3rd party or pencil myself in, just because I believe in always voting. It would suck to see the Dem win, but maybe that would send a message to the few people in Republican leadership who aren't trying to lose that we don't want any more "saar I am America just like you saar" candidates. Whereas if he wins, we can only expect more of the same, and in other states too. I don't know, the situation just sucks and fuck the GOP for supporting a literal Indian scammer.

I'm retarded and never realized this, I'm so used to it being labor elsewhere.
